- Score linesOur estimate: a curve placed by College Board’s 2026 score distribution. Its center comes from the 2024-25 free-response scoring statistics and the multiple-choice share measured on College Board’s released 2012-13 scoring charts. College Board does not publish cut scores.our model, fitted Nov 13, 2026
- Method updated Nov 13, 2026New here on Nov 13, 2026, with our updated method. Our model used to assume students score the same share of the multiple-choice points as of the free-response points. On all 7 released College Board charts we can check against that year’s free-response statistics, the multiple-choice share was higher (51% to 72% of points), so the model now uses the share measured there. Under the old method these lines would sit 7.8 to 7.9 points lower.our method notes, Nov 13, 2026

- Changed for 2027Multiple choice goes from 40 to 42 questions (29 in Part A, 13 in Part B) and each free-response part from 30 to 35 minutes. Question 2 changes shape (Part B (iii) is gone, Part C asks for a domain) and stays 6 points.read Nov 12, 2026

- How sure this isWe check our method against College Board’s released 2012-13 scoring charts, which exist for 9 subjects. For 7 of them College Board’s free-response statistics from the same year also exist, so the whole method can be tested: predicting each chart from the others, our 28 score lines missed by a median of 2.5, a mean of 3.7 and at most 9.9 composite points. AP® Precalculus is untested against a released College Board chart, so this range is wider. We show 5 points around the 2 line, 5 around the 3, 5.5 around the 4 and 11.5 around the 5.from our method notes, Nov 13, 2026
Assumptions: The 2024-25 free-response statistics behind our score lines come from exams before Question 2 changed.
Your composite is each part’s raw points times its weight, added up to 100. Score lines move every year because each exam version is equated, so near a line we show a range instead of one score.
AP® Precalculus score questions
facts checked on Nov 12, 2026
How is the AP® Precalculus exam scored?
Your composite out of 100 adds up these parts: 29 multiple-choice questions (no calculator) (43.75%), 13 multiple-choice questions (graphing calculator) (18.75%), free response Part A: graphing calculator (18.75%) and free response Part B: no calculator (18.75%). Each part counts its raw points times its weight; the composite is then compared with the score lines.
What composite do I need for a 5 in AP® Precalculus?
